- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 First ball wicket for Jonas and New Zealand. Wyatt can't believe it, so can't the New Zealanders. It is a hit-me ball. Wyatt could have taken her time and thumped it wherever she wanted. Jonas bowls it around off. Wyatt goes back to heave it across. Except, she does so straight in the hands of the deep midwicket fielder. Amelia Kerr doesn't drop many. Not the start England would have wanted in their 200th T20I 0/14.1 Strikes first ball again - how about first-ball Fran!? Once again tosses it up, fullish and outside off, nips in a touch after landing. Bouchier stays leg side and looks to tonk it over mid-on. But perhaps she does not commit fully to it and tamely chips it to Green off the inner half 28/29.1 Strikes first ball! Some start this for Carson. Tosses it up on a length outside off, lures Capsey out of her crease. I think she was deceived in the flight more than anything. It goes straight on after pitching, well past Capsey's bat. Easy work for Gaze behind the stumps. England stumbling against spin here 61/48.2 Stunnerrrrrrr! Jonas you star, you cannot do that! That is a massive wicket and Jonas is up and running in celebration. She is over the moon and why not. Tosses it up around off, Sciver-Brunt shimmies down the track and hits it right back. The ball is almost behind her when Jonas stretches her right hand out and it sticks, even as she dives to complete the take. Massive strike this 57/311.2 Catching practice. Tossed up full outside off, Jones looks to tonk it over long-on. But she gets more height than distance and it is a simple catch for Green on the rope. Carson gets her second in her second over 77/512.3 Knocked her over, fourth wicket for Jonas. Bowls the slider fullish on middle and leg, Kemp is slightly unsure of that. Looks to turn it across and ends up playing all around it. Almost like a left-arm seamer's wicket. Career-best figures for Jonas this, England in a muddle now 87/618.3 Out or not? Dean walks down the track and chips it back to the bowler. I thought she dug out a yorker towards Kerr, but she takes it and throws it back to the wicketkeeper, who takes off the bails. Dean had given up already, thinking to have been out caught and bowled. In fact, she ended up taking it on the full and chipping it back off the cue end.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.2 Short ball works for Filer. Digs it in outside off at 70mph/113kph, Bates walks down and looks to pull it across. Gets a top edge straight to Sciver-Brunt at mid-on. Bates couldn't get going and now has to get going 31/22.5 Feathers an edge, and that ends Plimmer's horrid tour. She tried hard to cut loose but was finding the fielders. Tries something different and gives it away early. Shapes away for the scoop by going across and getting into position. Bell bowls it on a back of a length, but Plimmer goes through with her attempted scoop. Only gets a glove behind and Jones does the rest 13/117.2 Stumped within a blink of an eye! Tossed up outside off, Kerr dances down to go over the off side but ends up yorking herself. Fails to squeeze it out and loses her balance in the process. Jones whips off the bails in a flash 112/510.3 Devine picks out long-on. Big dent to New Zealand's chase this. Kemp bowls it on a length on off, she clears her front leg and looks to go big but hits it straight down Bouchier's throat. A struggling knock from Devine ends 63/315.4 My word, what an innocuous dismissal this. It is actually a length ball gone wrong, as Bell sprays it well away from the batter. Would have been a wide had she not made any contact. But Halliday looks to reach out to slap it away and only gets a toe end. Jones gets down low to her left ankle. Bell has her hands on her mouth 103/417.4 Bowled her! Green makes room to go over the off side. Dean tosses it up and lands it on a length, gets it to spin in a touch. But she is bowling with the slope, and so Green was undone by the skid on that 113/619.2 Gaze misses, Bell hits. The slower one again, on a length, Gaze swipes across the line but misses. Her off stump is disturbed. It was the back-of-the-hand slower one 130/818.3 Wyatt clings on safely. Another slower one, in the slot on off, Kerr swings across the line and finds deep midwicket to perfection 122/7Extras4 (b 1, lb 1, nb 1, w 1)TOTAL135/8 (20 Overs, RR: 6.75)Did not bat: FC JonasFall of wickets: 1-13 (Georgia Plimmer, 2.5 ov), 2-31 (Suzie Bates, 5.2 ov), 3-63 (Sophie Devine, 10.3 ov), 4-103 (Brooke Halliday, 15.4 ov), 5-112 (Amelia Kerr, 17.2 ov), 6-113 (Maddy Green, 17.4 ov), 7-122 (Jess Kerr, 18.3 ov), 8-130 (Isabella Gaze, 19.2 ov)
